Rockstar High

Some nights are good nights and some nights are great nights. And ... then there are some nights that leave you with a Rockstar-hangover and a difficult time remembering what wasn't funny at 2 a.m. and what wasn't even funnier at 4 a.m.

This post goes out to my good friends (or how about gal-pals? That sounds pretty fun, right?) Melissa Heissner and Beth Schwingel, for coming over, staying up late, and making every, single thing totally ridiculous. No, they didn't get their homework done. No, I didn't finish painting Melissa's shoes for Amsterdam. And no, we were didn't discuss anything of remotely spiritual value ... but it was a whole lot of UCF'ing fun. (That last part was just for all you Homecoming Concert kids ... yah, more energy please!)

And just for the record, a double batch of home-made Chesser chili is not enough for 15+ college students. At least not enough if you want any leftovers.

The art is 49% a painting I did last night on the balcony, 23% typography and brush strokes, 11% layer blending, and 210% sleep deprivation. I (heart) Rockstar! Be sure to peep the super large Flickr version for all the gritty details!

Here is the wedding gift I made for my big sis, Jessica Cortez. Acrylic paint on canvas and a little over 6 hours ... I know, I am slow at the whole painting thing. And yes, that is a super duper rich chocolate Groom's cake on the table too. Yummy.

Staying out with "the boys" the last couple of nights has made my alarms (I had to set three ... my watch, my iPhone and the nightstand one) sound so loud and seem so early lately. At some point, I need to find some sleep ... but for now, I am definitely enjoying playing catch ...

So, I woke up this morning, fixing problems left and right and feeling good … until I realized I had double-paid one of our bills. AAaahh!!What had happened was (yes, Mom.

... the DRÄ Studio is the online recreational site for Oscar Cortez. It's mainly a collection of vector illustrations, raster graphics, design insights, UI concepts, Apple Macintosh ponderings and pretty much anything else that is fun to talk about.

Who’s behind the Curtain:

Oscar is a designer and illustrator, but aspires to be an animator, musician, technologist, writer, photographer and artist. He is in love with a beautiful girl, a wonderful Savior, and is waiting to hold his son again.

Oscar is usually busy making things pretty for friends and ministries alike, but when he needs a break, he can usually be found teaching at Full Sail, drawing on his leftovers or painting his own tee shirts.
